Abstract: (1613 Views)
Objectives: To comprehend the kinematic effects of hallux valgus (HV) deformity on young and older people, we assessed the angular acceleration of the joints in the lower limbs of these women.
Methods: Forty-eight women in two groups, young adults (20-30 years old) and older adults (50-60 years old), participated in this study (12 healthy and 12 with HV). We used an inertial measurement unit (IMU)-based motion capture system to measure the kinematics of motion. Biomechanical variables were assessed at an ideal speed during gait (stance and swing phases). All modules were calibrated in advance and then attached to the right thigh, shank, and foot.
Results: The results showed that in the young group, angular acceleration was significantly different during gait in all planes of the ankle joint, the sagittal plane of the knee joint, and the horizontal and frontal planes of the hip joint. In the older group, it was significantly different in the sagittal plane of the ankle and knee and the sagittal and frontal planes of the hip joint.
Discussion: It appears that the angular acceleration of the lower limb joints was affected by HV, especially in the young group. Additionally, the angular acceleration of the knee joint was less affected in both groups.
